Ruby Forum Ruby on Rails > memcache-client config problem

I am trying to use memcache-client to store session.  I have found great
instructions online.  However, I keep getting error and fail to start
rails on radrails.

I have "gem install memcache-client":

============ gem list ===============
memcache-client (1.3.0)
    A Ruby memcached client
=====================================

I've configured with the following:

=========== environment.rb  ===============
require_gem 'memcache-client'
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
   config.action_controller.session_store =:mem_cache_store
end
memcache_options = {
   :compression => true,
   :debug => false,
   :namespace => "pr-#{RAILS_ENV}",
   :readonly => false,
   :urlencode => false
}
memcache_servers = [ '127.0.0.1:11211' ]
CACHE = MemCache.new(memcache_options)
CACHE.servers = memcache_servers
ActionController::Base.session_options[:cache] = CACHE
============================================

I keep getting either of these errors (depending on whichever one comes
first in environment.rb:


=========== errors  ===============
uninitialized constant CGI::Session::MemCacheStore (NameError)

<or>

uninitialized constant MemCache (NameError)
===================================


memcache-client appears to have loaded properly with require_gem. I
tried changing the config many times, but keep getting these errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a lot!

This is due to not having at least "hoe" and maybe "rubyforge" gems not 
also updated.

Just do a global update if you don't have any others, but otherwise just 
try going into irb and directly including the memcache-client lib.

# irb
> require 'rubygems'
> gem 'memcache-client'

You should get an error here about what's missing.
